Topic: Fred Meyer loves the Wii

[RickPowers]

Myself and several of my friends from GearLive.com will be at the Ballard (Seattle) Fred Meyer tomorrow night.  I was supposed to have my Wii today, but fate conspired against me.  Instead, all I have is a Wiimote, Nunchuk and Zelda ... and nothing to play them on.

Oh, and a nifty white Wii hat.

Edit: I can also verify that in addition to Ballard, the Totem Lake (Kirkland) Fred Meyer is also doing a Midnight opening.  Supposedly six more stores in Washington, but I can't remember which.  Supposedly, Nintendo is putting out a Media Alert today.

40 Wii units for the midnight launch here at the Thor Store in Spokane, Wa. It is the only Fred Meyer in town that's doing the midnight sale.

I talked to them yesterday and they said they have recieved a lot of calls about the Wii Launch. I plan on showing up a few hours early.
